[This](http://www.spainemb.org/ingles/indexing.htm) is the address to e-mail the Spanish embassy in Washington, D.C., if any American Dopers would like to send a short message of condolence and support. **Bluesman** and I have sent one expressing our sorrow and outrage. ---

I sent mine to the San Francisco office, because it is closest to where I live. Illogical, I know, but it seemed right. ---

I recieved : _“ESTA TARDE A LAS 19:00 HORAS HABRÁ UNA CONCENTRACIÓN CONTRA EL TERRORISMO EN FRENTE DE LA CHANCILLERÍA DE LA EMBAJADA, LANGE VOORHOUT 50, LA HAYA, PARA MOSTRAR NUESTRA SOLIDARIDAD CON LAS VICTIMAS. Embajada de España: Lange Voorhout 50 - La Haya”_ I’m just back. Not many people - about 500 - but emotional all the same. Monday at noon there will be three minutes of silence throughout the Netherlands to commemorate the victims. ---

Thank you for the link. I just sent a msg. I heard from some friends who are Spaniards in Spain, and they really appreciate our (people from other countries) concern. ---

I remember how much the support of people around the world meant to me in the wake of the 9/11 attacks. Hopefully my message will mean as much to whomever receives it.
